Nine players from Trailfinders Women’s rugby team will be representing their countries in the Women’s Six Nations. The internationals are set to play for England, Scotland, Wales, Italy and Ireland.
England named Abby Dow and Abi Burton as part of its squad. The two players have called Ealing home since joining in 2023.
Dow, with 48 caps for England, is considered one of the greatest wingers in the game and is the only player to have been selected in the World Rugby Women’s 15s Dream Team of the Year every year since its creation in 2021.
Burton is a Great Britain Rugby Sevens Olympian. After an impressive 2024-25 season, the back row is looking for her first cap for the Red Roses.
Caity Mattinson, Lisa Thomson, Liz Musgrove and Chloe Rollie were all named in the training squad for Scotland.
Previously playing for England between 2017 and 2018, Mattinson was first called up for Scotland in 2022. The scrum-half has since gone on to earn 27 caps for the country.
Thomson is a former Scottish captain. The centre has 64 caps for the country. She is also a GB Rugby Sevens Olympian, who was named in the British squad for the Paris Olympics in 2024.
Musgrove initially competed in judo and athletics, but after taking up rugby has won 18 caps for her country. The winger was part of the initial Trailfinders Women squad going into the 2023-24 season.
Rollie debuted for Scotland ten years ago in the 2015 Six Nations Championship and the full-back has since earned 70 caps. She has also played for Scotland 7s, as well as been part of the GB Rugby Sevens training squad.
For Wales, Carys Cox will be representing her country. Cox has 13 caps for Wales and will be looking to earn more in the 2025 tournament. The centre joined Trailfinders during the 2023-24 season.
Italy named Trailfinders player Sara Seye as part of their squad, a prop who has been with Trailfinders Women since the start, in 2023. She has earned 27 caps for her country so far.
Finally, for Ireland, Trailfinders back row Grace Moore will be playing. Joining the Ealing-based team for the 2024-25 season, she has 17 caps for Ireland.
In round 1 of the tournament, Moore, Mattinson, Thomson, Rollie, Cox and Seye have all been named as part of the country line-ups.
